here comes the glorious holidays.after two hell weeks from fixing up the biomechanics and pharmacology presentations, i can finally take a breather, soak up whats remaining for the exceptionally fine autumn this year, brace up for winter and the finals. i dun think this two wks of holidays is any relax camp, because believe it or not, i have no idea what my pharmacology lecturer is rambling about, 3lectures a week i just sit there being very confused about activators, inhibitors, receptors and agonists, antagonists and whatnot. ok i confess most of the time i just doze off because apparently listening hard does not make any difference. so i am really going to try catch up with stuff because before anyone knows it, the easter hols will be gone and finals will be here to haunt me.

it has been 6wks since i left singapore and everything is still peachy. people ask me how i maintain my 6000miles relationship with zy, and i will just have to say, with loads of calling cards, hardwork from mr postman, faith and strength. 12wks left before xzy comes to visit! woohoo!!

and i decided not take Introduction to Glass Forming for my elective because i think my lack of aptitude for technical skills leading me to bug the d&t teacher everytime i start doing my pencilholder/toothbrush stand will eventually cause me to have a miserable time. my lecturer encouraged me to do bushwalking or kayaking. and since i figured if i only need to kayak for 2wks to get pass this elective, bring it on! it is definitely much more fun than doing accounting or writing geography essays. sooo, i will be kayaking in summer to get pass this module and this course ends 7th dec, i'll hop onto the next available plane on 8th and hopefully reach angie's 21st bday party in time ya?

and to kickstart the whole easter hols, we had the customary steamboat, because nothing beats a bubbling hot pot for the 10degree night weather. i ate heaps to recover from my 2wk ordeal and in my friend's exact words ‘雯雁，在我眼里你是一头猪‘ after my 283746856th mouthful because i was the first to start eating and last to finish, and she said i have never ever stopped chewing and stuffing food in my mouth. so go figure.

the gorgeous szechuan hotpot






we were Huiyii's new house for this steamboat which will be shir's new place as well if she decides to come to ade. its a cosy little shack and really clean place, except for the fact that the water pipe burst at midnight when chiangwei was showering and the whole kitchen was flooded and it took 6 brave little girls to fix the pipe right, under the freezing night because there is simply no plumber available for the long weekend. when the pipe burst and water was pouring out like nigara falls from the kitchen cabinet where the pipe is, we were just 'muthu-ed' and took us like 10sec to realise what is wrong. and then there were the usual swearing and curses, and fumbling to the control box and figuring out which main water pipe to switch off fast because the water was alrdy up our toes.

however, sometimes when adversity beckons you will be shocked by what skills and strength you have. for us, on that very night, we din know we had the stamina to clear all the flood in the kitchen, but we did it. fixing the pipe up by six absolutely clueless girls, where we took photos of how the pipe looks and sending them back to huiyii's dad and hurling out all the spanners and stuff to repair, we din know we had the intelligence of the plumber. another unforgettable night where we thank god it din happen while we r sleeping because it would be dreadful if you wake up swimming with the leftover meatballs.

ok last but not least, hereby wishing meiting a gorgeous 21st birthday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNABELLE FRANCES MARYANN KOH MEITING!

i am sorry that i missed your bday celebration, which i expect it to be all good with friends all ard. have a wonderful celebration and know that you are always loved. celebrating 12yrs of our friendship! i bet i din know in primary 3 that we will still be so close after 12yrs, but i am glad we still are. sorry for being a bugger thats been buggering you ever since primary 3. and i know how rotten i was to you in our primary sch days where you were so gullible and always believe in every fib i told you. and i remember how sad you were when i did the 'eraser' experiment where both of us stand behind someone and throw the eraser at the person and without fail everyone taut the culprit was you even tho it was me all along. and i remember how you used to throw chairs at junwei and we were all amused by it. and i remember how loyal a friend you were when we were in China and you took good care of all of us. and i remember how frantically you help me look for my wallet when i announced it is lost, and how pissed you look when i found out it was inside my bag all along. and i remember you showed me how vulgarities are not that vulgar after all if you say it with class. and i remember how you tried your best to make me look pretty on clubbing days, hurling out all the clothes for us. and i remember how hot you dance, sizzling all of us to death. and i remember how much effort you put in to organise our yearly xmas and new year party, writing notes now in your organiser, looking so professional. and i remember how you like to give hugs to all of us. and i remember how heartbroken you look when you saw me cry. and i remember how much you value friendship and value us. for all the years we went by, thru thick and thin, thru heartbreaks thru romance, thru meeting rotten men and finally getting the right one (eventually) and next time thru marriages and baby showers. I love you ms koh meiting!!
